  • Very Interesting. If fascinates me how the dog takes on the responsibility of caring for a human. How they can overcome instinctive behaviour is amazing. For example chasing birds. I own a 9mth black lab who would drag me into a pond to have a swim. Labs have only one weak point ,greed when it come to food. Its hard when those big eyes are looking up at you.

    Thank you for the video.

  • Labrador retriever baby!!! All dogs are excellent but I love that breed!

  • I used to have a guide dog and we were taught not to stop on the up curb because you're on a the road. Instead you feel the harness going up and a step later you walk up the curb. Still quite effective but I prefer this method as it gives more time to actually find the up curb

  • GO VEGAN AND SAVE THE LIVES OF PIGS, AND COWS!!

  • @NitrousZX7 hahahahahahahahaha

  • Excellent. I worked at a guide dogs for the blind organization in the USA California, and they were taught the same thing about curbs of course. Well done.

  • It sure is a neat experience having a guide dog, one thing that people don't realize is that the relationship between the human and dog is both ways. In order for my dog to do her job, I have also do mine. They need lots of attention and play time. Also, they'll do anything for food. Thats pretty much all they ask for.

  • I'm actually going to be training a puppy to be a guide dog real soon so its good to see what the pup will be doing in its near future!!
